Program review and restructuring are very similar if not full on redundant. Cost recovery for serviceis not really a service it is more fee for service (if the service is optional) , if the service is mandatory ( like licences, permits) it is no longer a fee for service it is a tax! Highway tolls is an excellent initiative, however tge outcome will either be an increase in the customer price of transported goods or increase in personal travel costs, through traffic on NB roads should certianly expect to pay or at least contribute to provincial highway costs, if we tax highways build with federal funds then we are trying to doubl dip? Regarding budgeting, reality says if their isnt enough money to operate a service or regulate a law then cut the service or look at how to increase income through selling more product ( government that is sellinig a service). Asking a chicken to produce mote eggs is false economy, buying more chickens produces more eggs?

in my experience in business over the last several decades, identifying best practice procedures has always resulted in the positive outcomes and growth. a simple and common sense solution to any problem.

President and CEO proclaims, support, srvuce and reliabilty for New Brunswickers? NB Power customers and the province of NB are in fact the ones who support NB Power, not the other way round? The President/CEO stating NB POWER goals of service and reliability need to be ammended and state clearly that the goal is Efficiency, Transparency, Reliability and Economical electricity fo residential and industrial customers is their mission and how they expect Government to measure their management and administration of NB POWER. As a province we have commited to producing our own electrical energy through NBPOWER, if we cant sell excess production at a break even or profit then we need to rethink how we access other supply sources, like Ontario, Quebec, and NewFoundland. We can still build and maintain our distribution grid , but not the actual production, sell Lepreau and Mactequac or decommision if they are no longer viable.
